Last night was a 2007 Meandro. Still holding up quite well. I thought it was on the decline a couple of years ago, but last night's bottle seem to have renewed vigor.

2008 Bento & Chapoutier Ex Aequo
2004 Niepoort Charme

These were opened at the Southern California FTLOP tasting last weekend

2004 Quinta Vale D Maria - Wonderful, but still has 10 years to go.

2015 Quinta da Leda Douro. Decanted about 4 hours and it was youthful and singing. If you have some, save some for about another 15+ years.

I just bought the 2018 and the (newly released) 2019 Soalheiro Alvarinho. I'll report back soon.

Broadbent Vinho Verde - Girlfriend picked this up at the market this week since family was visiting. Light and slightly fizzy, I'm sure we'll enjoy more of this over the summer, it seems like a great lawnmower wine.

2005 Rio Bom Reserva Douro Red (Quinta do Mourao / S. Leonardo) - spectacular!

2015 Herdade do Perdigão Alentejo Branco Reserva - Wow. A big palate presence but contained by excellent acidity. 100% Antao Vaz. Of the the best white wines that we had on our trip to Madeira. Stunning.

2016 Esporão Private Selection Branco

2017 Post Scriptum. A very good QPR. A couple hours in the decanter really help open it up.

That's a good reason not to buy it again

2011 Quinta Vale D. Maria. Quite nice, but needs more time. 3 hours open, it hit the sweet spot.
Drank with Beef Assado, we made for Easter. Didn't want to head out for collards to make proper Caldo Verde, maybe next time.

Might buy some more. Great price at 2020wines
